About

Steve Downing (Owner and Principal Consultant)

I help engineering and construction businesses get more value from their digital investments.

I turn your ambition and strategy into action and results.

I’m passionate about breaking down barriers between technologists and engineering teams, to find common ground and language for collaboration.

With over 25 years in the industry, I’ve worked across global engineering firms leading project delivery, design automation, and enterprise transformation.

I bring deep experience in how engineering projects are delivered, coupled with digital skills across enterprise architecture, cloud platforms, and AI solutions.

I live in the space between IT/digital and engineering teams, so I know how to make technology work in the real world.

With proven expertise at executive level in digital leadership roles, my recent experience spans across digital programme design and delivery, enterprise and solution architecture, agile project management, team leadership and line management.

I’ve led teams, built platforms, and delivered solutions that scale. From automating complex workflows to integrating systems across disciplines, I focus on practical outcomes that support how engineers actually work.

I believe technology should serve people. Not the other way around. That’s why I focus on solutions that are easy to use, collaborative, and balance short-term needs with long-term value. Whether you’re exploring AI, streamlining design processes, or building a future-ready digital ecosystem, I’ll help you make confident, informed decisions that move your engineering and design organisation forward.
